Milwaukee 49-56-0012 Bi-metal Hole Saw 5/8 Inch

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 49-56-0012 is a 5/8-inch bi-metal hole saw built for general-purpose cutting in metal and other common trade materials. It features a 3.5 TPI tooth geometry engineered for extended tooth life in metal applications. An all-access slot design speeds up plug removal, improves pilot bit visibility for accurate placement, and promotes faster chip ejection to keep the cut running cool. A thermoset coating reduces friction during the cut and is optimized for use with cordless tools. Licensed electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors use this saw for conduit knock-outs, pipe penetrations, and rough-in work.

The 49-56-0012 is suited for residential and light commercial trade applications where a 5/8-inch hole is required through sheet metal, steel studs, wood, plastic, and similar materials. The 3.5 TPI design is particularly effective in thin to medium-gauge metal. The thermoset coating is reported to deliver up to 25 percent more holes per battery charge compared to uncoated designs, making it a practical choice for cordless drill and driver use on job sites without consistent power access.

Installation Notes

This hole saw is installed and used by licensed electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians for rough-in penetrations.
